Let's Talk

On February 12th, for every text message, Facebook share, tweet and long-distance call made, Bell will donate 5¢ to help millions of Canadians suffering from mental illness. Spread the word and help end the stigma. 

My source (the dynamic Dustin Garron has mentioned that Let’s Talk - The Marilyn Denis Show Special will air twice on February 12th at 7pm ET on CTV and 9pm ET on CTV TWO.

Having struggled to maintain my calm while talking with my severely psychotic mother this morning (battle lost, war not over yet) this is a subject very dear to my heart. One day, I would truly love to be guided by what Lincoln termed "the better angels of our nature." Until then, I'll ask for your help: stigma and a deep sense of shame are pervasive and destructive side effects of mental illness. Let's bust the stigma, end the silence, and make it better. Let's do this thing, together.
